Harvard ‘expels’

Brett Kavanaugh won’t be teaching a class at Harvard Law School this winter after an outcry from hundreds of alumni angered by allegations of sexual misconduct against the Supreme Court nominee, according to a report.

“Today, Judge Kavanaugh indicated that he can no longer commit to teaching his course in January Term 2019, so the course will not be offered,” Catherine Claypoole, associate dean and dean for academic and faculty affairs wrote in an e-mail Monday, the Harvard Crimson reported.

Hundreds of alumni signed a letter calling on Law School Dean John Manning to “rescind” Kavanaugh’s position as lecturer and prohibit him from teaching a three-week class titled The Supreme Court Since 2005.

“We believe that Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment as an HLS lecturer sends a message to law students, and in particular female students, that powerful men are above the law, and that obstructive, inappropriate behavior will be rewarded,” the letter says.

“Judge Kavanaugh is not leadership material, and he is not lectureship material.”

The Crimson reported that the letter had 700 signatures, including alumni who graduated as far back at 1959. Hundreds of current law-school students also sent letters to Manning about Kavanaugh, who has been lecturing at Harvard for a decade.
